Ee is Written Down as Being Worse
Than Crank.
st. Paul Pioneer Press: 1t is Prob
ably useless, after the experience of the
last two years, to protest against the re.
tention of Sparks IN charge of the gem
eral land Office. Yet1t is no exaggera-
tioIl to say that the most corrupt of men,
if given the same position, could scarcely
have done worse than he has done
There has not been week lsince be took
charge When the complaints of tine
settler were silenced. There has scarcely
been week when some order or decision
of his was not reversed or oyerruled by
the superior authority OF the interior de-
partment. Indeed, the only thing thai
has made SPARKS toisrable ID the
supervisory power of the secre'
tary, which shas nnlliied some OF BIZ
most outrageous work. 1t is q prob
lem not necessary to solve whether fht
man is working for an imaginary politi-
cal effect, or whether he is honest bu
Ihaif crazy on the subject of land frauds
In either ease he is worse than crank

The farmers loaded their carts with grain or pork or any thing they wanted to market and drove OK teams to Poughkeepsie, and many times brought back molasses and other goods for merchants. A man named Daniel Bingham from Salisbury was thus vending his way to Poughkeepsie market when he was accosted by man whose house was near the road; and asked Will you put this bag of apples on your cart and carry them to the min ister living in such place, street and number?' MT Bingham gladly granted the request and on arriving at the place took the apples and carrying them to the front door called the reverend gen. tleman and produced the apples, with his errand quietly spoken. Will you carry them around and into the back door?' is asked. Bingham set down the bag of apples, saying I expect to enter the front door of the kingdom of Heaven, and am not going to your back door, sir" ABsALoM.

DeDth of M rs. A my l. A ndre Hs.

Mrs Amy L. Andrews, aged Fl years, dled at ten o'clock last Thursday even- ing, at her residence in this village. Her health had been quite delicate for several years and for many weeks she had failed slowly but steadily. The gentleness and sweetness of her charac- ter have been daily illustrated for over three score years, yet her cheerfulness. patience and resignation during her long illness, which she endured without 8 murmur, have added an increased lustre to her life and exerted silent but hal lowed and lasting influence over all who witnessed her decline. Her funeral was attended at her late residence on Satur- day at 1 p. m. Rev B. F. Barlow officiatea. The services were brief but impressive, and were without ostenta- tion which was in perfect harmony with her life. Her remains were tenderlv laid to rest beside kindred dust in Hill side cemetery at East Canaan. And thus another lifelong resident of Canaan has passed away; another golden link that connects us with the past has been removed; another friend has joined the family above.
 Mrs Amy Lawrence Andrews was & descendant of Isaac Lawrence, one of the first settlers of this town and who came here in 1739 She has resided here continuously except an interval of less than year. She joined the Metho- dist church over fifty years ago, and has lived consistent Christian life.
 About twenty years ago an association of schoolmates who attended the East Canaan school in 1880, was formed, in- cluding herself and nine or ten others who have made their birthdays the oc- casions for social gatherings. Several meetings have been held each year and all have felt lively interest and anxiety to be present, and it has been source of great deal of enjoyment to every member of the society. Her death is the first that has occurred in the circle.
